Anyone know where to get a tank this size, Well built, in the Edmonton area? I've already got a price from AI, but I would like a second, third and fourth opinion. Thanks!

Well there was a potential group buy of Tenecor acrylic tanks posted the other day. I ordered one on the last group buy and by all accounts they are supposed to be very nice tanks. Mine is sitting at Freightways right now waiting for me to pick it up. Another tank builder that is supposed to build awesome tanks is aquarium obsessed out of Ontario. I have had tanks shipped before (acrylic only) and the shipping is actually not that bad. I had my 190 shipped out of the eastern states and I think it was only about $200 to ship it.
Just a couple of options if you don't find anything around Edmonton.

For a 240 you might want to look at the former Bow Valley. Maybe inquire at some other local shops around town.

If you do find something, PM me, I'm also starting again to look for something in the size range.

Bow Valley worked out of Calgary. I believe they still have a website, and their prices are uber cheap. I'll ask around and see if I can find the website for you!

If your a member of Alberta aquatics you might wanna have a look to see the latest problems with bow valley there was some shadiness and over charging and a complaint being filed with the BBB. Not trying to detour away just trying to give some advance warning. There are well priced (but I think it in US$). Think "Mark" on Canreef here bought a tank from him and had some trouble also. If they cleaned up some business practices they would be the place to go. :mrgreen:

Thanks for the heads up Murray.

I totally didn't know it was that bad. I knew there was often delays, but something on that scale is too much!

I retract my suggestion from before.
